The study of the attention mechanism has sparked interest in many fields, such as language
modeling and machine translation. Although its patterns have been exploited to perform …

Simultaneous speech translation (SimulST) systems aim at generating their output with the
lowest possible latency, which is normally computed in terms of Average Lagging (AL). In …

Automatic subtitling is the task of automatically translating the speech of audiovisual content
into short pieces of timed text, ie, subtitles and their corresponding timestamps. The …

Despite its crucial role in research experiments, code correctness is often presumed only on
the basis of the perceived quality of results. This assumption comes with the risk of …
